Cant decide on 13"wheel width.5" or 7 ".?

im am taking the oppurtunity to change to 13" wheels and cant decide on what to use.
i have a set of 7" wide capri wheels and was going to use 205/60/13 tyres (ie a48,888, even colway intermidate ,depending on funds)

i also have a set of 5" wide steel wheels and i sure i can fit 185/60/13 on them (same type of tyre)

i have an indyblade that never goes out in the wet and will mainly used for sunday blasts and trackdays..

Has anybody any thoughts on these wheel choices ref steering,grip etc etc

both fit ok..no real clearence issues.

Just don't go 8". There are hardly any tires available for that (as I've found out - although for a list, you can always u2u me, and I'll discuss it at length!!). I'd go lighter, having never driven your, or any other 7!
